From Meluhha To Pakistan: The Embodiment Of A Civilization

Re: From Meluhha To Pakistan: The Embodiment Of A Civilization

i think you are stuck with half-truths.

the academics who believe meluhha referred to the indus valley people also believe the people of this civilization were dravidians who moved further away from this region post-climate change etc.. much of the evidence for the meluhha indus valley theory is based out of dravidian language word-matching with loanwords in the sumerian language - the reasoning being that these words were used to refer to non-native items brought in by rich trade with meluhha. the evidence isn’t all that convincing, but even if it were true, that would mean the scions of indus valley pretty much are the south indians and eastern and central indian tribals like the gonds and bheels. the vast majority of sindhis and punjabis etc have nothing to do with dravidians and are a continuum of the north indian ethnicity of the modern indo-gangetic plains.
